Hear A New Walkmen Track, "Blue As Your Blood"

Last week, we heard "
Stranded," the promising (if also now slightly misleading), horn-laden first single from The Walkmen's forthcoming fifth full-length,
Lisbon, and today Stereogum alerts us to another. "
Blue As Your Blood" is less startling, more in keeping with what we've come to expect from the Walkmen: it's a gently propulsive, light-footed song that seems always to be building to something. Taking what almost feels like a page from the National playbook, though, it never really does. And it's ok. One gets the feeling
Lisbon might be an album best experienced as a whole.
